STEP 9
When you are ready to start your mix, press PLAY on
Deck 2.
STEP 10
Use the CROSSFADER to transition from Deck 1 to
Deck 2.
STEP 11
As you are transitioning to Deck 2 with the
CROSSFADER, use the VOLUME SLIDERS, GAIN
and EQ KNOBS for each channel to adjust the
sound. If the incoming track is starting to drift in
time, use Deck 2’s JOG WHEEL to make
adjustments to the tempo so Deck 2’s music “locks”
with the beat playing on Deck 1.
STEP 12
When you wish to complete the transition, move the
CROSSFADER all the way to the right (Deck 2).

As you can see, mixing is not too difficult! Good mixing, however, does take some time to perfect. As you
practice, you will get a better sense of which musical material goes well together and how you can create smooth
transitions between tracks using the volume, EQ and crossfader controls. Do not get discouraged if your mixes
are not sounding professional right away – practice makes perfect!
